 | | | The summer art show season is nearly upon us again. Each summer, tens of thousands of artists have the opportunity to show and sell their creations to the art-loving public. Participating in these shows can be exhilarating, terrifying and exhausting, all at the same time.
I've long recommended that artists take advantage of the opportunity to show their work at art events.

| | |  | | | Since writing my best-selling book, "Starving" to Successful in 2009, I've helped thousands of artists establish relationships with galleries, generate more sales, and build better careers. I often receive requests from artists for personal career coaching. Unfortunately, due to my schedule, I haven't had the time to do in-depth coaching with more than a fraction of the individual artists who have requested it.
For the last several months, I've been developing an idea that will change all of that, and I'm excited to announce the "Starving" to Successful Mentorship.
In July, I will select one artist for an intensive mentorship. The mentorship includes 1 year (more or less, as needed) of one-on-one coaching. In our coaching sessions, I'll help you (if you are selected) set goals and implement strategies to achieve them. I'll evaluate your work for quality and marketability. I'll help you craft your artist's statement and biography, and much more. Most importantly, we'll be working toward a one-person show for you at Xanadu Gallery.
